Goldeneye Map Guide - Peak District
The Lake District is England's only true mountain area, and is considered by many to be the most beautiful corner of England. It is remarkably compact and varied. The intention of this Map Guide is not to compete with the thousands of previous publications on the Lake District, but to update, and introduce the visitor to the many features of interest, and beauty, in this area. It is the ideal product for first time visitors or for those seeking to reacquaint themselves with the area.

The map is easy to fold and unfold and consists of clear, detailed mapping at 2 miles to 1 inch/1:126,720. All attractions and lakes are clearly marked and there is an index to towns and villages.

On the reverse side, the guide provides a mass of information which includes places to stay and places to eat as well as historical attractions and art galleries. The listings include opening times and are lavishly illustrated with beautiful photographs.

Crimson Pathfinder Walking Book - Peak District - White Peak
Write a review Few places are remote from a small village or the web of narrow lanes and tracks that extend across the White Peak and general navigation is not a significant problem. However, countryside walking often demands attention to detail; being on the wrong side of a wall can usher you in the wrong direction, and the location of stiles and gates is essential in charting a course across a chequer-board of fields. Much of this part of the Peak is actively farmed and, away from the moors, as there are fewer swathes of open access land, it is important to follow recognised paths. Several walks explore the higher ground of the region, which, like all hill areas, is susceptible to changeable weather and demands adequate equipment and experience. Even in the sheltered dales, walking can be demanding for although climbs and descents may be relatively short, are often abrupt. In the most popular gorges, good paths have been laid, but elsewhere the terrain is often rocky and, in wet conditions, limestone polished by the passage of innumerable feet and steep grass slopes can become very slippery. In an area where there is so much worthy of exploration, the difficulty is not in what to include, but rather what to leave out. This collection has been chosen to explore the many different aspects of the countryside and sometimes include or lie close to another attraction. Amongst the notable things to see are Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall as well as many museums such as the lead museum at Matlock Bath and that relating the harrowing story of 17th-century plague in Eyam. Most villages have an interesting church, and although sadly many are locked, it is often possible to locate the keyholder. In a region where almost every village has character that invites exploration there are surprises, like the many-stepped cross at Bonsall and the narrow alleys at Winster. Inevitably, some places are popular and are best reserved for the quieter times of the year. However, many others, no less interesting or possessed of beauty, are less frequented. The Park Authority does an excellent job in maintaining paths, stiles and gates. Together with canal towpaths, former railway lines, old tracks and quiet lanes, they offer endless possibilities for superb walking. There is an on-going policy to replace stiles with gates in popular areas, but you can expect to encounter stiles and squeeze gaps on every walk. In most places, well-behaved dogs are welcome and ought to be kept on leads near livestock, in farmyard areas and while passing through nature reserves. They should also be restrained during the spring nesting season upon the moor and note also that, in some open access areas, dogs are not permitted other than on Rights of Way. Welcoming country pubs and village cafes appear on or near many of the walks, but if you intend relying on them for something to eat, it is as well to check in advance that they will be open when you pass. Having said all that, all that remains is for you to choose your walk and set off.

Crimson Pathfinder Walking Book - Peak District - Dark Peak
Many of the routes are focussed upon reservoirs, valleys and the edges of the moors, where there are obvious landmarks to guide the way. Elsewhere, the vast, featureless spaces may appear intimidating to the inexperienced, but most of the described walks follow discernible paths, which, in fine weather, should present no great difficulty to the sensible novice. But, be aware that conditions on the tops can be markedly different from those in the valleys and can very rapidly deteriorate. Adequate clothing and provisions and the ability to navigate using map and compass are necessary. It is easy to become disoriented in mist and, in this empty terrain, a GPS receiver can be a useful additional tool to pinpoint your position. The longer moorland walks do present a challenge and newcomers to rambling would be advised to develop their experience on the less demanding routes first. In an area where there is so much worthy of exploration, the difficulty is not in what to include, but rather what to leave out. This collection has been chosen to explore the many different aspects of the countryside and sometimes include or lie close to another attraction. For example, there are several splendid show caves around Castleton i?? as well as its castle, a grand house and gardens at Lyme Park and even the chance to take a unique trip on a barge through the highest, longest and deepest canal tunnel in the country at Marsden. Inevitably, some places are popular and are best reserved for the quieter times of the year. However, many others, no less interesting or possessed of beauty, are less frequented. The Park Authority does an excellent job in maintaining paths, stiles and gates and, in recent years, the water authorities have opened many trails around their reservoirs and surrounding forests. Together with canal towpaths, former railway lines, old tracks and quiet lanes, they offer endless possibilities for superb walking. There is an on-going policy to replace stiles with gates in popular areas, but you can expect to encounter at least some stiles and squeeze gaps on every walk. In most places, well-behaved dogs are welcome and ought to be kept on leads near livestock, in farmyard areas and while passing through nature reserves. They should also be restrained during the spring nesting season upon the moor and note also that, in some open access areas, dogs are not permitted other than on Rights of Way. Welcoming country pubs and village cafes appear on or near many of the walks, but if you intend relying on them for something to eat, it is as well to check in advance that they will be open when you pass.
